Customer Reviews Birkenstock Gizeh Birko-Flor™ - Graceful

I bought a pair of golden brown birko-flor gizehs last summer after being diagnosed with plantar fasciitis following knee surgery. After breaking them in, I wore them almost daily - versatile & cute! They keep my body in proper alignment. This year, I bought two pairs - in henna leather and emerald green leather. The oiled leather ones, however, have no shine like the birko flor, and the leather at my big toe tends to bend upwards a bit after a while, as real leather will do. I find them all equally comfortable. I wear an 8.5, and order down in these to a 38.

This is my 2nd pair of these shoes. I love them they go with everything. When these came in I got another pair in the red which looks like a hot pink. I wear these shoes everyday. I have heel and arch problems but not anymore with these wonderful shoes.

I wear a size 7½ and the 37 fits like a glove. I absolutely love these shoes. Others have commented that the toe separator bothered them, but I have felt nothing uncomfortable about these shoes. I have them buckled fairly tightly so they do not flip-flop. I have not worn Birks in 20 years. I am so happy that I went back.

Love these Birkenstocks. This makes about my 12 pair in the last few years! The fit is great as always and this color is awesome!

These shoes are amazing. I have several pairs of Birks so I know how they fit and feel and I was so happy to have purchased these. They were comfortable from day 1. I only wish I would have purchased them sooner!

I love these shoes! The first time I ordered a pair of Birkenstocks (a different model) they were way too huge on me, so this time I ordered a full size down. I normally wear an 8/39, so this time I got a 7/38 and it fits perfectly! The thong seemed a bit problematic at first, it chafed and I had to wear Band-Aids around my big toe, but after a few wears I got used to it. Now they are the most comfortable shoes that I own! I love that they go with absolutely everything; they can look casual or fancy depending on what you pair them with.

I have never been a Birkenstock fan. I have always thought they were so ugly! But I have developed a problem with my foot and my local running shop recommended I try Birks. I liked this style and so I tried them. But found they were too wide for my foot. I ordered from Zappos the narrow in one size up and they were perfect. I must admit they feel good on my foot (after a little getting used to them) and they aren't nearly as ugly as thought! I may even order in some other colors.

I love these sandals. My feet are smiling. One problem: the color on the computer is not the same as the real thing: the real purple is not "deep" as described. But that is OK. This is my first Zappo purchase. The experience was excellent.

I love this style and I love this color because it goes so well with jeans. This is my third pair of blue ones. I almost wear them out!

This sandal goes above and beyond the average sandal. I love these! I don't want to take them off. I have been battling plantar fasciitis for the past 4 months. Tried 3 types of orthotics & new sneakers with no relief. I bought these sandals and within one week they were broken and and perfect. My heel was finally getting better. I have worn Birks in the past and always loved them. The important thing to remember is that Birks are kind of hard for the first week of wear. Don't be turned off, because then they completely mold to your feet and you won't want them to come off. You will not be sorry if you get these. So cute too! Lots of compliments. Seriously these are the only shoes that provide almost zero relief of pain. Amazing!

I have narrow feet, I am usually a 6.5 sandals and 7 shoes. I read other reviwes and I order this style in 37 and they fit nice they are comfortable and cute.

Awesome, made my poor, old tired dogs feel so much better. Recommended by my sports podiatrist.

I read reviews and ordered a size down and they fit perfect. Very comfortable, I buy a new pair every year. If you like open shoes, buy these.

I buy these shoes every 4 years or so and wear them 90% of the time from March to November. My absolute faves. Bought the first pair for my wedding. They last forever.

These shoes are incredibly comfortably. Why pay Mephisto prices when you can have style and great comfort at this very reasonable price!

Took the silver size 11 out of the box, put them on. So sexy and comfy for my big tootsies. Love Zappos for superior customer service. Fast delivery. Merci!

I ordered these in the Red Patent, and I really like the look. They are well made and fun, but I am sending them back. ;( They are just too flat for me. Your foot is actually positioned in such a way that your heel is lower than the ball of your foot and I just cannot wear shoes that position your foot that way. I can and do wear flip-flops, I have several pair of the Teva Olowahu and love them. They have a foam sole that conforms to your foot and provides just enough cushioning and support for occasional wearing. I use them as 'slippers' around my house and for short errands. A little about me. I am 49 years old, am fit. Because of my age, I have noticed that my shoes need to be super supportive, especially in the arches or I develop tendon issues in my ankles and heels especially when my heel is low in a shoe. I am going to leave the ratings at 5 Stars, because I feel they are well-made, attractive and good shoes, they are just not for me, but I don't feel that is a reason to knock them in the ratings.

I already have this sandal in a pewter color and wear them all the time. A friend raved about the sandal in white so I ordered them too. Didn't think I needed the sandal in a different color, but the patent-leather white looks so different. I actually got them a size down (40 v. 41) so they look a bit more fitted and formal, at least for a birkenstock! Am very happy I decided to keep them- am already getting compliments and my daughter wants a pair now.

I love these! The Gizeh is super cute and not Granola/Hippie looking. You have to understand when you first try these on they will feel weird. You need to give them a few days to mold to your foot. Once this happens, they are like heaven! I'm not kidding. I've had mine for a week and they are fabulous. But it does take a few days, so be patient. I think they run big. I'm a Dankso 39 and I bought a Birkenstock 38. You want your foot to fit perfectly in the heel cup or they won't work.

They're beautiful - but they're really golden! Sort of metallic...make sure that's what you want.

I've had this sandal for 15 years in the patient leather style. I love it (obviously). I bought them when I was 16, and I'm 31 now. They'll never go out of style, and they last a very long time. Best investment! Give them time to break-in.

Have numerous foot issues & have never owned Birkenstock before. These shoes are awesome! Color is trendy, style is great & foot glides in like it was made for you. Ordered 1/2 size down & it fits perfect! Ordering blue pair now.

Great looking on your feet. I have received lots of compliments on the shoes. I thought that the toe piece might be uncomfortable but after a short time I didn't even feel it. I bought another pair right away.

I received these Gizeh Birko-Flor Birkenstocks in a very fast manner (as per the usual Zappos way). I am normally a size 6 and I ordered a size 37 Regular (6-6.5). When I tried them on, they were way too big. I loved the toffee color that I got them in. I wanted some dark brown sandals and felt that the gold shimmer on these added some pizazz. Would have kept them if they weren't too big.
